about the statement that went something like...so many have grown tired of banging their head against the wall and no longer post here...not an exact paraphrase but close enough for the purpose of comment.

During Bush' last two years and mostly during the election year the shoe was on the other foot. The mere mention of a name the opposition had in their sites....a subject was not a prerequisite....and often when there was one it was ignored.....and the tirade of bashing commenced. Consistently....every day without exception.

Just like this thread some chose to take things to a personal level....but that was usually a minority of the participants. And now that their man won the election there is this air of if one does not hail the POTUS...agree with the man...do not support what he is selling/promoting/et al.......the tenor of the opposition is oh my GOD what is wrong with these people or something akon to that.

What I see on this forum and many others I participate in and in "real" life (actually talking to people face to face) is an inordinate need by the supporters of Obama to not allow the same latitude of discourse they so frequently used prior to the election.

From the WH to the POTUS to the federal and state lawmakers and entertainers....way too much playing of the race card. It as usual has nothing to do with a given subject....but that doesn't seem to matter...it has worn thin in the eyes and ears of the majority of we the people. It adds no value and only generates heat (which seems to be the objective).

Not looking for a debate....just an observation.....as I saw it....see it and hear it.

No struggle no progress.
